The following images are thumbnails. If you click on them a larger image will open up and the picture will take up most of your screen. Again these are medium quality jpegs. Higher quality images can be purchased directly from me via paypal using my email address tjfidler@telus.net And many of these photos can be found for sale on Cafepress through the Calendar link and Photo CD link. As well some of these can be found as posters via Cafepress, and some of these ocean life photographs are available as widescreen backgrounds via the widescreen link immediately below some of the photographs.

Campground. We like to camp here as the washrooms are the cleanest we've ever seen. Definitely car camping as you are actually in more of a farmers field if you are using a tent. But the RV spots are under the trees. (July 11, 2009) |
Floating in the Chemainus River.
Average depth in the area only about two feet, but there are spots just past my wife that average 6 feet with the odd spot past 12 feet. The river never seems too fast, at least during the summer. (July 11, 2009) |

| Crayfish ~ 8 inches [20 cm]
long. We usually spot around 8-12 crayfish in the area each time we are here. (July 11, 2009) |
Crayfish ~ 8 inches [20 cm]
long. This one was just in the right position for a few decent pictures. (July 11, 2009) |

 |
| Crayfish ~ 8 inches [20 cm]
long. If you look closely this crayfish is actually eating something. (July 11, 2009) |
Crayfish ~ 6 inches [15 cm]
long. This one had a burrow between two large rocks and at a depth of around 12 feet. There were also about six bullhead fish within three feet of this spot. Seems to be more algae as well. (Aug 16, 2009) |

| Crayfish ~ 8 inches [20 cm]
long. This one instead of being afraid of me actually came up to me and posed for a few pictures. (Aug 16, 2009) |
Crayfish ~ 8 inches [20 cm] long. (Aug 16, 2009) |

 |
| Crayfish ~ 8 inches [20 cm]
long. Note that his crayfish is missing a pincer, and in fact about half of them seemed to be missing one. |
Crayfish ~ 3 inches [7.5 cm]
long. This was a juvenile one. And it stayed hidden for the most part. |
 |
 |
| Crayfish ~ 6 inches [15 cm]
long. This poor one is missing both of its main pincers, but luckily they have other legs with pincers that can be used for eating. |
Some kind of young trout. [?]
Only about 2 inches [5 cm] long. This is the only decent picture of them as they moved too quickly most of the time. A couple of the larger ones were around 12 inches [30 cm] in length. |

| Bullhead or freshwater sculpin ~
6 inches [15 cm] long. Just as their salt water cousins, these fish were quite curious about me. And came to me. But would also move away as if they were not completely comfortable, and then come back. (Aug 16, 2009) |
Bullhead or freshwater sculpin ~ 6 inches [15 cm] long. (Aug 16, 2009) |

| Bullhead or freshwater sculpin ~ 6 inches [15 cm] long. | Is this a sponge. ~ 2 feet [60
cm] long. The green only appears on them when they are exposed to sun light. In all likelihood contaminated with algae. Im beginning to wonder if some farmer up stream is using too much fertilizer. (Aug 16, 2009) |

| Is this a sponge? In shaded
areas these lifeforms were white. (Aug 16, 2009) |
